Ok, yah, I know...too many fanfic attempts from this author! But I don't really care. This is my latest ficcie. No flames, please! And I don't own Digimon. If I did...you can be sure things would be different. But I do own Phiynyx, and also Flamingmon (and any of his stages that may show up). (and I hope no Digimon actually have those names. But I don't think they do)

Oh, also, this first part is rathed G since it's just an intro, but some of the rest gets a little bloody/violent, so it will probably be PG-13 or something. But no R-ness here. ^^;; I'll shut up now!

Needed Friend-Part One (intro)

"I can do nothing to help you! You know that! Now get back inside!" a woman called to her twelve-year old daughter. But the girl was already too far away from their small house to hear.

"She could help me...by letting me have a chance to make friends!" the girl grumbled. She felt her way around a dark forest, but suddenly somehow she realized she wasn't in the woods anymore...she wasn't even on this Earth.

"Where am I?" her voice was almost hollow, and it was rowned out by the sounds of rough, desert wind.

But then she heard voices.

"I know this is the right way!"

"How can you know that, when we don't even know what we're looking for?"

The girl drew a deep breath and shouted, "Where am I?"

The voices paused. Then, the voice of a timid little girl shouted back, "Stay right there! We're coming!"

In under five minutes, the lost girl was surrounded by eight bewildered DigiDestined and their Digimon.

Tai shuffled around, asking, "So, what's your name? Er, I'm Tai..."

"My name is Phiynyx. Phiynyx Mahrie Johnston."

Izzy spoke up next. "I'm Izzy. And you're in the DigiWorld. But you don't have a DigiVice, so...you must not be one of us."

"Izzy a computer nerd. Hi! I'm TK!"

"Eh, I'm Matt."

"I'm Mimi! I love your pink socks!"

"I'm Sora."

"And I'm Joe. Last, as usual."

Phiynyx smiled. Then the kids told her about their Digimon.

"Maybe I need one of these Digimon," Phiynyx stated. "My mother has rarely given me the chance to have friends."

"That's cruel," Izzy replied. He surveyed the girl, from her turquoise shoes and pink socks, to her capri jeans, to the small pink rose embroidered on her green tanktop. She tossed her jet-black hair out of her face, and Izzy gasped when he saw her eyes.

"Izzy," Tai said, "what are you staring at?"

Izzy walked over to Phiynyx and touched her shoulder lightly to get her attention.

"What is it?" she asked him.

"You...you're blind, aren't you?"

Phiynyx was silent for a minute, then replied, "I so hoped you wouldn't notice. I guess you hate me now."

"Why would we hate you just for being blind? It's not your fault!"

Grabbing Izzy's arm rather roughly, Phiynyx asked with hope in her voice, "So you don't hate me?"

"Of course not!"

Mimi walked over. "Ooohh, I think Izzy's flirting!"

"Mimi!" Izzy shouted. "No way!"

"There's no need to shout, Izzy!" Tentomon said, through barely hidden laughs.

Phiynyx again fell quiet.

"Did they hurt your feelings?"

She jumped, thinking that everyone had left. "No, Izzy..."

"You're coming with us! Come on!" Izzy grabbed her hand and led her along, through the desert, with the DigiDestined.

**ok, Part one was slow, but it was just the intro. Part two will be more exciting! I hope anyway!**
